Values and Ethos

Please click here to help your child develop the best habits for learning.

Our vision is to provide a happy, caring and stimulating environment where all students will recognise and be given opportunities to maximise their potential – academically, spiritually and socially - and ensure that they are well equipped to meet the challenges of education, work and life.

Barking Abbey aspires to:

Develop confident, articulate, assertive young people.

Foster well-rounded, empowered, resilient, independent young people.

Nurture young people who will go out and change the world for the better.

Enhance opportunities through creating an inspirational learning environment where all students aspire to achieve their potential - ensuring that no student is left behind.

Raise aspirations – giving students the necessary tools to explore and be who they want to be.

Encourage individuals to be adaptable, aspirational and unafraid to question and evaluate.

Engender a sense of belonging, and of pride in the school, themselves and their wider community.
